Take the first step in making your home warmer, drier and healthier!
Step 1: Contact us here OR fill out this eligibility form here.
Step 2: One of our friendly and knowledgeable assessors will contact you to book an assessment for your home. This will let you know if your home is subsidized and we can collect the information we need to install insulation.
Step 3: The assessor may deem your insulation compliant so you don't need to do anything else unless you would like our heating program. If our assessors find that your current insulation is non-compliant, insulation will be installed. One of our team members will contact you to organise a date and time for installation.
Please note insulation must be compliant before heating can be installed through our heating program. Find out more here.
